Excerpt from Past and Present of Allamakee County, Iowa, Vol. 2: A Record of Settlement

One of the most able lawyers and business men of Waukon is D. J. Murphy, who during the twenty years of his residence here has actively identified himself with the city's professional, financial and public life, winning each year increasing prominence in each field.

He built one of the finest business blocks in Waukon, the lower floors of which are occupied by a large department store, while the upper story is fitted up into fine offices. Mr. Murphy has his own suite of three rooms here…
